Evaluation of a MODIS-Based Potential Evapotranspiration Product at the Point Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper outlines the development of a continuous, daily time series of potential evapotranspiration (PET) using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor data from the Terra satellite platform. The ...
Incorporating an Urban Irrigation Module into the Noah Land Surface Model Coupled with an Urban Canopy Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he current research examines the influence of irrigation on urban hydrological cycles through the development of an irrigation scheme within the Noah land surface model (LSM)?Single Layer Urban Canopy Model (SLUCM) system. ...
Snow Model Verification Using Ensemble Prediction and Operational Benchmarks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrologic model evaluations have traditionally focused on measuring how closely the model can simulate various characteristics of historical observations. Although advancing hydrologic forecasting is an often-stated goal ...
Case Studies of a MODIS-Based Potential Evapotranspiration Input to the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: satellite-based potential evapotranspiration (PET) estimate derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations was tested for input to the spatially lumped and gridded Sacramento Soil Moisture ...
A Multistep Automatic Calibration Scheme for River Forecasting Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Operational flood forecasting models vary in complexity, but nearly all have parameters for which values must be estimated. The traditional and widespread manual calibration approach requires considerable training and ...
Distributed Hydrologic Modeling Using Satellite-Derived Potential Evapotranspiration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: atellite-derived potential evapotranspiration (PET) estimates computed from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations and the Priestley?Taylor formula (M-PET) are evaluated as input to the Hydrology ...
High-Resolution Modeling of Infill Development Impact on Stormwater Dynamics in Denver, Colorado
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Growing cities require accurate knowledge of current and future hydrologic conditions to make effective stormwater management decisions. Yet, this information is lacking because cities are undergoing infill development/r ...
Evaluation and Transferability of the Noah Land Surface Model in Semiarid Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Noah land surface model at two semiarid sites in southern Arizona. The goal is to evaluate the transferability of calibrated ...
Intercomparison of Rain Gauge, Radar, and Satellite-Based Precipitation Estimates with Emphasis on Hydrologic Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares mean areal precipitation (MAP) estimates derived from three sources: an operational rain gauge network (MAPG), a radar/gauge multisensor product (MAPX), and the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely ...
